Chrome - how to send a shortcut to the desktop?

When viewing a web page, Internet Explorer has the simple option of sending a shortcut to the desktop (File > Send > Shortcut to desktop). Clicking the shortcut will open the same page complete with an address bar.

Is there a way to make Chrome do exactly the same thing?

Besides Harrymc's answer, you can directly create a shortcut on the desktop be clicking the settings menu (3 vertical dots) and click "Create Shortcut." This will place a shortcut directly on the Window's Desktop.

Drag the icon to the left of the address-bar to the desktop.

The shortcut will be to the website, so it will open Chrome if it's defined as the default browser.
